We offer a comprehensive range of autism treatments including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, social skills training, and behavior therapy. Each program is tailored to meet the individual needs of the child, focusing on improving communication, behavior, and social interactions.
ABA is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. It helps to improve social, communication, and learning skills through reinforcement strategies. Our behavior therapists use ABA to help children understand how behaviors work, how learning takes place, and how to apply these skills in various situations.
For children with communication disorders, we offer speech therapy conducted by licensed speech pathologists. These services are designed to address challenges such as speech delays, articulation problems, and other communication barriers.
Yes, our speech therapists are skilled in techniques that aid both verbal and non-verbal communication. For non-verbal children, therapies might include sign language, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and other augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods to help them express themselves effectively.
Social skills training involves teaching children how to interact appropriately with others. This can include understanding social cues, learning to take turns, sharing, making and maintaining friendships, and managing social anxiety.
If your child exhibits behaviors that interfere with their learning or social interactions, or if they have been diagnosed with a behavioral disorder, they may benefit from behavior therapy. Common signs include frequent tantrums, aggression, non-compliance, and difficulty adapting to new situations.
Our child behavioral therapists are highly qualified and certified in behavior analysis and therapy. They have extensive training and experience in providing behavioral support and interventions for children of all ages.
Behavioral therapy for kids at our center is structured around individual needs. It typically involves an initial assessment, the setting of specific behavioral goals, and the implementation of strategies that help the child achieve those goals. Parents and caregivers are often involved in this process to ensure consistency and reinforcement at home.
The time it takes to see improvements can vary depending on the child’s individual needs, the frequency of therapy, and their response to the interventions. Some families notice improvements within a few months, while others may see gradual changes over a longer period.
Getting started is easy. Contact us via phone or email to set up an initial consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss your child’s needs, conduct any necessary assessments, and recommend a personalized therapy plan.
